The BEST BREAK 75 episode so far!

[@RickShielsPGA]

Break 75 is here to stay! Loads more on the way - thanks so much for your continued support everyone

[@alexwood8555]

No, thank you Rick, genuinely one of the highlights of my week every time you post a video.

[@OKKIDSPORTS]

Honestly seeing you struggle a bit at times makes it relatable and real even if I cant break 90. We all go through those ups and downs and this round seems like a big up for you.

[@joshberry4813]

That girl can flat out play!

[@irollins]

Talk about entertainment, that was brilliant. Beer, Rick and add Iona, absolutely great watch. Rick so pleased you got great round in, but it's all about the personality you bring to this platform👍I watch to be entertained not to watch perfect golf. More Iona as well, that lady is class, both in golf and personality as well. Think I will watch all that again 👍👍⛳️

[@garrysmith4444]

Love the video Rick. Play GANTON ryder cup venue....

Thanks so much for having me on the series Rick! My hands (and ankles) still defrosting!

[@mattiasfallmyr3423]

you brought good vibes (and great golf) for sure

Id skip the ankle socks next time

[@mitchelllee569]

Thank you so much for the Golf in the Kingdom reference! When you all got to the par3 over the gorse I just knew it was Burning Bush!

[@Mowser63]

Fabulous playing Iona… and certainly brought the best out of Mr. S.

[@onfaithalone4253]

You are one hell of a golfer Iona 👏🏻👏🏻 fantastic round

[@grantbostick7180]

Iona has been your best guest yet. This has been by far my favorite of the Break 75 series!

[@johnwood8603]

As the Marketing guy at Crail, I just wanted to say thanks, you have just done my job for me. Well done Rick and congratulations Iona on a new ladies course record 👍🏼. Great to see you both having fun and shooting some great scores on our Old Tom Morris course.

@@johnweissenberger7719 We were founded in 1786 (7th oldest golf club in the world) and our Balcomie course was redesigned by Old Tom Morris in 1895 to bring it up to the requirements of that time - imagine hickory clubs and gutta percha balls. Its largely unchanged since then, but as my Atlanta friends like to say “its the longest 5900 yds you will ever play” especially when the wind blows (frequently).😂

Iona is an absolute delight as a guest, and her positivity clearly rubbed off on you! Well played both of you, and even in cold, links conditions what a lovely course!

[@nickcauser727]

I think I can speak for everyone here when I say, Iona is just brilliant. What a round and what a person to play golf with! Absolutely loved this video. Well played Rick!

[@benmatthies562]

When Rick stays positive, the vibes and his game are so much better. Love to see him having fun on the course

[@412sportscards9]

It’s insane but for him the positivity is literally worth at least 5 strokes ! I think Iona’s good vibes really helped him

[@micbenner]

He's a case study of mental skills in sport

[@bbrakes5814]

Literally smiled so much watching this. An awesome day to remember

[@jgallone]

This might have been one of my favorite videos from Rick. Watching Rick get his groove back, Iona shooting lights out golf, and an incredibly beautiful course...just awesome.

[@ComedyBREWHOUSE]

Yep, some real beauty out there

[@Mextorf39]

So good to see Iona back! She's such a gem. And good to see the game returning Rick!

[@FirstGendodgegarage]

She gives and amazing hj on the 19th every time a true class act

[@alanwilson6471]

Having Iona on is a breath of fresh air, always enjoy the rounds with Rick and Guy but she is a special soul ❤️

[@FirstGendodgegarage]

She gives and amazing handy at the 19th

[@imCurveee]

Iona's swing is just so pure. Not a single silly or wasteful movement.

[@elterrible67]

What a pleasure Iona must be to play with. Unreal player and so supportive. Could feel the good vibes from the 1st ball

[@rambo0519]

What's so impressive is that not only did iona play from the same tees but her overall round was nothing short of spectacular such a beautiful swing and such a loverly humble person great video and well played iona

[@andrewross1149]

In addition to being ridiculously talented, Iona is absolutely a joy to watch and listen to. Please have her on more and more.

[@FirstGendodgegarage]

She always pleases at the 19th hole wether it be bj or hj

[@benaldridge8736]

I don’t know about anyone else… but the chemistry between these two on the course is magnificent. Just goes to show you how surrounding yourself with positive people can generate positive results

[@BadenAW]

Definitely

This has saved me from posting it, the innuendos, the glances, the physicality 😉

Best guest you've had on for ages!!!!! :D

[@1willyboi]

This is the happiest I've seen Rick on the course for a long time, and it's a joy to watch! Iona bringing the positive vibes. Must come back on!

[@jamiesloan7259]

This was incredible! Iona is such a sweet, gentle soul. Everything about her is pure joy, love, kindness, and positivity. Hanging out with an Iona would truly bring out the best in everyone. Wow.

[@ryanmorkham9242]

I have re watched this 5 times. So good.

[@andrewbriggs241]

I feel like Rick really needs people like Iona with him all the time. They help keep him positive and then he can show how truly amazing he is a golf

[@Melted_Butter]

Absolutely. Even with Iona, you can still hear how negative he is to himself. Even many of the positive comments are negative in nature (eg “that shot wasn’t horrendous”).

[@toothdecay2465]

What amazes me about Rick is how he can play as well as he does while narrating videos. If he didn't have all the fuss of sound equipment, cameramen and entertaining the audience, he would shed strokes from his game, guaranteed.

[@TheMagsterize]

The best B75 yet. The positivity Rick had in this video was phenomenal. Iona was a absolute gem of a partner as well!

[@floralwallpaperenthusiast6631]

What a beautiful golf course. Wow.

[@brittensmusic2692]

So much love for Iona and her casual way she just navigates the course and rips it up. What a swing... what a round. Well done to Rick as well for a great bounce back

[@jpfortier]

This just became my favorite golf video on KZbin, EVER, no doubt. The vibes, the scenery, Iona killing it, seeing Rick happy and playing good. Watching this made my whole week so much better. Thank you for that. :)

[@tomsanger5548]

Agreed. Rick's unfortunate out of bounds was about the only blemish between the 2 of them.

[@brunonanni6219]

Well done Rick. And Iona is a beauty with a great golf game!

[@joshuaspence3926]

More of this please! You two are fantastic together, I’d watch every episode if you keep playing together!

[@primarycolours647]

Watching Rick’s struggles makes seeing this all the more special. This video and series is why Rick is the best golf channel on KZbin. Iona, what a star.

[@simonyates1524]

This is one of , if not the best golf KZbin videos I've seen. I've only been playing golf just over a year, and now I know I would like to play golf like Iona Stephen. Sorry Rick !! That was a delightful almost clinical display. The positivity, the enthusiasm, just a lovely insight in to what golf can be like. And I've not even began to wax lyrical about Crail !! Cave spotting in Fife with golf now on the to do list !! Ps well played Mr Shiels , you were both great.

[@marknightingale2760]

Stunning course, beautifully filmed.What a find this channel has been for me.

[@sully_skylines]

I’ve watched this episode about 6 times now in full, honestly think this is the best episode on the channel, perfect story and scenery in every way. It’s incredible Rick and team. Bravo!

[@trottz16]

Rick and Iona together is god Tier golf viewing. She brings out something in Rick that’s rare. Anytime she’s on the channel or cross over. Rick turns into MJ Flu game level. I love love love it

Watching Rick throw his club in the air in excitement over that chip shot was such a lovely change of pace. Glad to see you getting your groove back Rick!! ❤

Brilliant iona is just awesome well deserved 👍

[@itsbreww]

I keep coming back and rewatching this video. 4 or 5 times now. Truly unparalleled vibes in this one.

[@jojosaute]

What just hit me is that i appreciate the unadulterated nature of this course. No houses, no buildup, just the course and the sea. Stunning. Rarely in the states do we see something like this.

I played at Crail several years ago and IT WAS AWESOME!! I really enjoyed myself. So cool to see you all play it.

[@timlillard390]

Absolutely fantastic video! Having been born and raised and never playing golf outside of Southern California, this great tour of the Crail course in Scotland, along with the loveleh lady Iona and your wonderful accents was a true treasure for me. Once having been a 2-handicap golfer obsessed with scoring at all costs, now at 77 I can deeply appreciate the fun and camaraderie and appreciation for the beauty of this magnificent scenery you and Iona shared. Thank you so much for posting this awesome round, and thanks for being so cool about your not-so-perfect shots. You are a great role model for us of advancing years. I have not played a round for 20 years due to a horrific motorcycle accident, but I'm slowly swinging the clubs again (just regripped my old Titlests) without too much pain, so hopefully I will be back on a par 3 course soon. Your play and deportment are indeed an inspiration to me. Thank you! P.S.- If you want to loan Iona to me for my first round back on the links it would certainly help distract me from my wayward shots. ;)

[@ronrae18]

This was soooo amazing to watch. Two great people having fun shooting lights out golf on an historic course. Can’t wait to see a collab with Iona again Rick!!

[@flatspotting2898]

I think this is my fav break 75 - what a ridiculous round from Iona on a surreal course.

[@scottelectronic]

As someone that's gone through a lot lately, I can't tell you how nice it is to see you having this much fun out on that beautiful course. What an amazing video Rick, you constantly produce the most top notch content that I take in regularly. Brilliant. Edit: I had to come back to this to compliment Iona...what a player, and her vibe was just right. Total gem.

[@SmokeyRobbo]

I’ve seen through your sneaky Break 75 plan Rick! Play the best par 69 course on the in UK and with a proper golfer who is also effectively your caddy!! Lovely video and great to see you (both) just enjoying it for sake of it. More of @iona please 🙏

I enjoy all of the Break 75 series, but this one was special. Even if the scores had not been outstanding, the pure enjoyment of the round was evident from both of you, and had a smile on my face watching the episode. Well done!

[@TheKenKingsley]

I know it's been said by many others, but you absolutely need to have Iona back on the channel. You two worked really well together, and played some wonderful golf. Hope to see more of this duo in the future!

[@josephstevenson9549]

Wow what a beautiful golf course! Iona, that was a pleasure to watch, also, well done Rick……you’re back! Happy New Year

[@user-qq2mo1ek2r]

I think for me this has been one of the best video's you have made Rick. Well done on breaking par, very nice round however, the round Iona put together was something quite special and I think from the same tees as you. The course looks stunning and that's in rather grey sky's so in summer it must look unreal. Honestly, this was one special course and special rounds from both of you.

[@chadode9048]

Iona might be the perfect playing partner. Consistent, even keeled, positive (but not over the top with it - more matter of fact). Those types of people are pure gold on the course. Great video!

[@buckojohn2845]

I usually watch KZbin on my phone and today I decided to cast to my TV. Boy was I not disappointed. What a fantastic video on the big screen, what a beautiful golf course.

[@Mayhemzz]

I love that Iona says she hasn't kept a scorecard in years. I believe that's a big contributor to her attitude and playstyle. She's not thinking about making par or birdies every hole, she just goes out and enjoys the game, which leads to playing really bloody well!

[@darrenditum5120]

By far my favorite Breaking 75 video, partially because of the magnificent venue, but mostly because of Iona. What a lovely lady, with such a sweet and humble presence, and an equally lovely swing. She would be a lot of fun to play a round of golf with. Great round Iona!! And good shooting, Rick. But try to watch the negative comments/expectations when you are facing a shot or after hitting a shot, even if you say it jokingly or while laughing. Stay positive! It's not easy to focus on your score while also trying to create a video and entertain an audience. Give yourself a break!

[@jeffreyscanlon6230]
